The purpose of a Table of Specifications is to identify the achievement domains being
measured and to ensure that a fair and representative sample of questions appears on the
test. Teachers cannot measure every topic or objective and cannot ask every question they
might wish to ask. A Table of Specifications allows the teacher to construct a test which
focuses on the key areas and weights those different areas based on their importance.

A Table of Specifications provides the teacher with evidence that a test has content
validity, that it covers what should be covered on the syllabus. A Table of Specifications
benefits students in two ways. First, it improves the validity of teacher-made tests. Second, it
can improve student learning as well. A Table of Specifications helps to ensure that there is
a match between what is taught and what is tested. Classroom assessment should be
driven by classroom teaching, which it is driven by course goals and objectives.

The Table of Specifications of the University is designed based on the list of course
objectives, the topics covered in class and the amount of time spent on those topics in
congruence with the Course Syllabus. It is composed of Topics covered, The Teaching
Time, Percent of Teaching Time, The points to be assigned by the Faculty, The Number of
Items to be given by the faculty based on the points and objectives in the syllabus. Such
Items will also be distributed on the KSA (Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities), which are the
measurement goals and domains to be covered. Knowledge covers Remembering and
Understanding, Skills covers Applying and Analyzing, and Abilities covers Evaluating, and
Creating.

Item analysis is a process that examines student responses to individual test items
(questions) in order to assess the quality of those items and of the test as a whole. Item
analysis is especially valuable in improving items that will be used again in later tests, but it
can also be used to eliminate ambiguous or misleading items in a single test administration.
In addition, item analysis is valuable for increasing instructors’ skills in test construction, and
identifying specific areas of course content which need greater emphasis or clarity.
